“I think what you’re reacting to is that, at the moment, Biden is an unpopular president seeking a second term while Trump is a popular figure inside his party who is winning primary races. I wouldn’t necessarily compare the two.”

    Why do you guys consistently frame things as bad for Biden but never bad for Trump?

    And your reply was to frame things that exact way. You’re acting as though you’re just reporting the “view from nowhere” or something but you’re not. You’re talking about two unpopular politicians, and yet when Trump came up you only spoke about his popularity within his own base.

    The old “let me disprove your point by proving your point” technique.

    Trump is the dumpster fire the Republican party has been working towards since Reagan. He is exactly what is expected on the Red side.

    Biden is a union busting right leaning genocidal sociopath, which is the exact opposite of what you would expect from the Blue side.

    America has been lost.

        And then she still lost. Why? Because she was a conservative running as a Democrat because her husband gave her an in with the party.

        We do not currently have a liberal party in America. We have a bunch of dunce christian conservatives on the red side and we have a bunch of brainwashed not-christian conservatives on the blue side.

        We have VERY few that are anti-war, anti-genocide, anti-cash-in-politics, pro-working-class politicians because Hilary and her circle murdered the moral compass of the Democrat party.

      union busting

      Biden is arguably the most pro-union president in recent history, hands down.

      https://www.americanprogressaction.org/article/8-ways-the-biden-administration-has-fought-for-working-people-by-strengthening-unions/

      If you’re talking about the one time he signed a bill to force the rail workers to work … while we were in the middle of already very very serious supply chain issues right before the holiday season… We got through the season and the rail unions ultimately ended up winning https://www.ibew.org/media-center/Articles/23Daily/2306/230620_IBEWandPaid

      right leaning

      How?

      genocidal sociopath

      If he didn’t help Isreal he’d be thrown under the bus for weakening the US’s only ally in the middle east. He’d also likely be opening up a power vacuum (and potentially larger war) that would backfire very badly for the US.

      The real issue is the Isreal people elected their own version of Trump so Biden is dealing with a “Trump of Isreal” that’s more than happy to run down civilians.

      It’s not like he hasn’t been trying to go behind Isreal’s back and help Palestine. It’s just not a “press a button to stop sending them weapons and all the problems go away” situation.

    Man, this is just maddening. The comment OP highlighted is terrible, but the reply to another just drips condescension.

    I used to respect the NYT. But between the Trump coverage and their viewpoint on the war in Ukraine, they can go kiss me where the sun don’t shine. (What I’m trying to say is, both are ass.)
